Going back to the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival for a moment - as well as the Hawkers' Market, Bro and I also attended the "Are you game?" dinner at the Royal Mail Hotel on Spencer.
Also known as the "roadkill" dinner, it was an evening of dishes showcasing different Australian game meats. Apart from the yabbies, all the meat that evening was wild caught game. Drink wise, we started with a glass of Prosecco, and then over the course of the evening were served three glasses of wine from the wine label, Ladies Who Shoot their Lunch. Seriously, how perfect was that wine label for the evening. I'm not going to talk about the wine because I know sweet FA about wine, apart from the fact I like to drink it. On to the food!
There were TEN courses... when we saw the menu we thought that we might have to select from some of the options. But no, there were TEN COURSES! Oh my goodness. Let's get stuck in.
First up was a Yarra Valley yabby martini with lime aioli and spring onion cigar. The yabby meat was very delicately flavoured, and we found a bonus quail egg at the bottom of the glass. The aioli was nice and creamy, although I found the spring onion cigar rather sweet, which was disconcerting!
Next up we received a quail pithivier with wild rice and curly kale. The pithivier had light flakey pastry and I also noted that it was buttery – mhmmm so buttery – with hints of cinnamon. The wild rice was chewy and sweetish, and the kale was also buttery. It was a very enjoyable dish.
The third course was a smoked Flinders Island mutton bird salad with Mount Buffalo organic hazelnuts and grapefruit dressing. This was one dish that had everyone divided. The mutton bird was interesting, and was unlike any other bird I had ever eaten before – it had a very strong, oily anchovy flavour. Yes, anchovy! Mutton bird tastes like fish! Amazing. I can't say that mutton bird is a meat that I would seek out again, but it was interesting to try it.
After the mutton bird, we received wild barramundi with "sand of the sea" and clam foam. The barramundi was BEAUTIFUL – it had fantastic flavour, was perfectly cooked and flaked away under my fork. The "sand" was finely ground breadcrumbs, and the "foam" was tapioca. Chives represented seaweed and thinly sliced potato on the fish represented scales. I was so impressed that the fish was perfectly cooked when the kitchen would have had to cook so many portions at the same time. This was the dish of the night for me. Seriously lovely.
Following the barramundi was a duck liver parfait with apple and pear chutney and brioche. The duck liver parfait was very, very rich – to the point where it was almost bitter. It was nice though, very smooth, with the sweet, fruity chutney helping to cut through some of the richness, both from the parfait and the buttery (and heavily buttered!) brioche.
Next was a Flinders Range kangaroo rogan josh curry served with a pappadam and a piece of nann. The curry had big bold flavours and the roo meat was made into a couple of large meatballs. I've had (and cooked) roo many times before, and because it's so lean it's not a meat that is nice when overcooked. So I'm not entirely sure about roo meatballs - while the roo meatballs weren't too dry, they were noticeably drier than a beef meatball would be. It was a tasty curry though.
After the curry there was a palate cleanser of crocodile ceviche with Yarra Valley salmon roe and limoncello. This was really interesting, it was like a lemon liqueur crocodile chewing gum!
Moving into the final courses, next up was herb crumbed Daylesford venison with mushrooms, kipfler potatoes and saffron cream. Maybe I was a bit delirious with food by this stage, but I wrote in my notes that the venison had a pate like flavour with a texture that made me think of boiled meat.
And for our last savoury course, we received slow braised wild Redesdale rabbit with squid ink gnocchi. This was supposed to come with Flinders Island wallaby prosciutto, but they must have had a shortage because a small amount of the prosciutto was passed around the table (which didn't get to us). The chewy and tough gnocchi was the only disappointment of the night. The rabbit, however, was good – tender and flavoursome, and in my notes, I wrote that it tasted like a savoury chicken pie! I think I was definitely delirious with food by this stage. The thing that was topped with a mushroom was a potato filled with rabbit liver.
And finally, for dessert, we had duck egg crème brulee. This was SUPER rich, and very creamy. It was lovely, but oh my god it was SO RICH, particularly after nine other courses! I enjoyed smelling the sprig of rosemary and lemon too.
I was mostly very impressed with the food that evening. Most of it was cooked really well, presented nicely and nothing was too strange (not that Bro and I mind strange, we did do offal last year). It was a very good event to attend and we went home two happy eaters.

Today's lineup
We have activated Eric Gagne and optioned Oscar Robles to Las Vegas. Eric will sit out the next two games on suspension from last season (he was on the DL earlier this year, so he wasn't able to serve the suspension previously).
For today, we've got:
Furcal, SS
Lofton, CF
Nomar, 1B
Drew, RF
Aybar, 3B
Ethier, LF
Martinez, 2B
Martin, C
Sele, P
20 Comments
Any word on when we can expect to see Kent back?
I'm hoping in the near future to see an outfield of Ethier/Kemp/Drew… unless we're going to trade for Crawford?
No Jeff Kent is making me very nervous. Isn't that the same wrist he fractured previously in a motorcycle accident?? We as Dodger fans should be very concerned,we need him healthy to take the West.
I was in DC this weekend and saw Kent leaving the ballpark Saturday with a HUGE ice cast on the wrist. Although the ice cast was gone on Sunday, he did no on field activities. I agree with Pellan.1 an outfield with Drew Kemp and Ethier would look great. Although, Lofton is great in this mix.
I've been very anti-Lofton all season, but I'm starting to warm up to him. I'd still like to see him starting fewer games and used more situationally with occasional starts.
Wait, didn't Gagne serve out his suspension just before going on the DL, or did that go back retroactively and thus nullify his sitting out?
And what's going on with Bill Mueller?
Never mind, took me a second to get it.
This is great, though, because Gagne's season debut will be back in LA. Welcome back to the Jungle.
By the way, who's the next player that could potentially be activated from the DL for the Dodgers?
It is unfortunate that there are so many injuries to the vets. Although I love to see the younsters in the lineup I think four at a time is too many – Aybar, Martin, Ethier, Kemp. Major league pitchers catch up to the kids so too many might not work well for keeping the rookies confident. Think Grady is wise to mix and match the kids. The vets take the pressure off the kids so hope the DL list soon gets shorter.
Ethier hits his 4th of the month. My guess is Ledee or Repko are gone after the DL stint. Colletti will go with the younger guys.
Ok, why in the name of Jim Tracy did Nomar just bunt?
Was that the gameday scorer that messed up, or what? All of a sudden they go back from the bottom of the 8th to the top, and the Dodgers take a 5-3 lead.
Whatever. The important thing is LA is winning.
I just checked on the Padres website it's still 0-0 in the 2nd. Please loose Padres
Yeah, I think the Dodgers should stop playing all these rookies. All this winning is making me uneasy. The whole thing would feel much more stable with Mueller, Cruz, and Ledee in and a .500 record.
Kids don't just produce out of some instinctive spark. It takes veteran leadership to keep them going, to keep them focused, to teach them, to guide them, etc…
I guess I'm blown away by some of the "hey let's get the kids out there" talk that really stinks of ignorance.
Who cares if we got a heavy influence of youth, if we r winning why does it matter. We didn't get hot until some of these kids were infused into the lineup, or did we forget that already? I wanna see another too,Mr.Billingsley is his name. Also I'm very disappointed we couldn't sign Hochevar, he'll probably go 1st in the upcoming draft.
Another great game !! Go Dodgers. Hochevar needs to go to Tampa or Kansas City or Pitt and see what a $4.0 million bonus will get him, 18 years of losing !!! If the guy had any smarts he would of seen the true value of signing with the Dodgers. Instead he let the plague of baseball, BORAS, ruin his career !! You can bet that the day will come that he'll wish he was a Dodger. I'm proud to see that management held their ground.
Leadership is catalytic if anything; do you think Andre Ethier hit that homer because he was led or because he's a good ballplayer? It's better for the young players' development to gain confidence at the major league level anyway, and they are much more durable than the veterans anyway. Leadership is important for adding confidence and helping players remain consistent, and I think veteran presence has more of an impact than veteran leadership – look at how the bullpen does when Eric Gagne is up with the team, even when he's not playing.
Yeah, those rookies should be down in AAA helping Vegas win all those games. Letting rookies play is ignorant. Oops, last year a NL team played at least 6 rookies and won their division. PLEASE let the Dodgers be that ignorant!!!
Yeah… all this winning is really getting tired. Confidence is everything and the kids haven't backed down in the face of pressure, and it's showing in the win column. And if you worry about veteran leadership, don't forget about what Nomar brings to the table. His quiet confidence speaks volumes… even more so than the Dodger Stadium public address speakers in center field. (anyone else see the metaphor there? lol…) The Dodgers will be just fine… and I'm thinking the Cesar Izturis thing will work itself out for the betterment of all involved.
1. Who cares if we have heavy influence of youth? I have no clue, I didn't think that was brought up. I guess you're addressing that question to someone who suggested that. My comment was directed towards those that easily dismiss veteran players in order to let a kid playing (somehow they think that playing kids produces wins which by itself rarely works). As for Hovechar…I hope he enjoys playing in Kansas City or sitting out another year…way to go Boras!
2. I didn't think I was questioning if Andre was a good player or not. I stated my point in 1.
3. To jglass: Winning the division with rookies is the exception not the rule. In other words, it is possible to win the division with rookies (many things are in fact possible), but there are many many more examples of teams that stink it up when they play too many rookies. (Even Beltre stunk it up for many years before his contract year…I mean his break out season came up).
My point merely is this: don't dismiss the vetern presence…this is not direted to everyone obviously, but there are some fans that quickly forget what veterans bring to a team during a long 162 season, with new faces, experiences, etc.
I really believe these kids are performing because of guys like Nomar, Kent, Drew, Alomar, Mueller…these guys make it look easy and so the kids get into that same kind of mindset. I could be wrong, I'm not in the clubhouse. =)
Haven't hese kids been playing good ball all the way up through the ladder, I mean they didn't just start playing well as u imply. Our minor league system is one of the finest, it's about time it got it's due. And of course we need veterans as well, only a fool would state otherwise. I guess having alot of rooks gives folks a reason to whine.

When a man by the name of Verbal is brought in for questioning, he tells an almost unbelievable story. Verbal recounts the story in flashback, of five criminals who meet in a police line-up who decide to band together to perform a vengeful heist, which leads them further into crime.
The Usual Suspects is an intricate film of intense, sometimes superfluous, editing that reveals a plot of mystery and revelations. It is part crime, part mystery part film-noir and relies on plot and post-editing to grip the viewer to the very end.
Full of violent twists, and the mysterious Keyser Soze, the film requires the viewer to watch closely, almost demanding it to be watched a second time over. However the acting is fluid, the plot crafted meticulously and the script witty.
The film won two Academy Awards, one of which was for 'Best Original Screenplay', it also won two BAFTAs for 'Best Original Screenplay' and 'Best Editing'. The film's intense editing and intense plot will keep you on your toes.
The Movie Club will be screening 'The Usual Suspects' on Wednesday 10 May, 6pm sharp at Narellan Library. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided, BYO snacks are more than welcome. Stay after the screening for a short discussion about the film. See the discussion questions to get some ideas.

Preview image from "XOMIA" (2015) which debuts March 27th at Ellis King
The latest in a series of interviews with artists who have developed a significant body of work engaged (in its process, or in the issues it raises) with technology. See the full list of Artist Profiles here.
Your work functions on two different, related, levels. The first is the macro, or the meta—the way that images or systems are linked together, a concern that is present throughout your practice. The second is the micro—for example, tracing visual similarities between survival tools and credit card designs or reptile claws and the Three Mobile logo in Soft Mobility (2014-ongoing). Your practice is as much about workflows as individual works, which allows you and your viewer to trace connections between these macro and micro levels. What prompted you to start thinking in this way?
I've been asked this a lot lately, I've been trying to figure out some moment. I can only nail down a rough timeline that's still running. Too much content? Which led to too many tagging tools and algorithms? Too many aggregational platforms? Too much curation? Too many blogs? Too many new projects? Too much art direction? Tropes and genres just became super easy to notice, reveal, nudge, merge, produce, and reproduce. Also to deconstruct. Conceptual and cultural tropes as much as the nuts and bolts stuff. Art became about accounts and feeds just like music did. Images became meta images. Objects became meta images. Everything could be linked. Everything was part of a stream, then a mass. Everything became fractalized. Tags became crucially important. You could make other people's art, you could predict what everyone was going to post next, faster than they could post it. Your ideas and personalities became brands instantly. You started viewing everything in situ with similar and related content around it, which in art always included other work that was copying it or at least was uncomfortably similar. It also included products, artifacts, architecture, and selfies. The line between the research, the idea, the art product and the resulting trend and community blurred. One image wasn't enough. The timeline from thought to post diminished. All content sources became equalized. Resources were scarce. Memes dominated. People had their first feelings of AI. It's a story for another time.

Although Black History Month comes to a close as of this Friday, a five-year-old rapper out of East St. Louis, Ill. is keeping the torch lit with his debut video. Heir Jordin, a pint-sized rapper with a big message, comes forth with his new track "Proud History" and might make a few of you proud out there with his earnest effort.
Heir Jordin, born Jordin Jackson-Prince, is the son of rapper Ramel "RT-Faq" Prince of the group Doorway, also out of East St. Louis. Heir Jordin's focus on "Proud History" is built around the young MC rapping about iconic figures from the annals of Black History such as President Barack Obama, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. among others. The video, which premiered on Doorway's homepage and YouTube channel, gets a brief explanation.
From Doorway:
Heir Jordin (Jordin Jackson-Prince) of East Saint Louis, Illinois, son of proud father and rapper Ramel "RT-FaQ" Prince of the group Doorway, is releasing his debut song and video "Proud History" dedicated to showing pride for his African American culture and heritage. The five year old rapping phenom raps "I'm proud, I'm proud of my Black History, it's history, and I'm proud" on the chorus for this anthem which amplifies and sums up the overall theme of the release.
Joining Heir Jordin in the video is his brother Royale Prince (Teddy P) and other children from their town. The video captures images of the historic St. Louis landmarks such as the Jackie Joyner Kersey Center and the Chuck Berry statue.
If nothing else, it's refreshing to see a young child spit verses about heroes that a great number of his popular older counterparts have largely ignored.
Check out Heir Jordin's "Proud History" in below. Let us know what you thought in the comments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Succeed using superstar quality. Your audience will applaud your efforts to entertain and amuse. Don't hide your light — or your ideas — under that proverbial bushel. Cash in by selling yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Pressures could briefly put you into a stew. Rise above petty issues and everything will fall into place. Concentrate on making plans for the future while infused with the excitement of a new purpose.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It is a simple thing to exert a little effort and achieve a big payoff under these stars. Because you are completely focused on success, you will be able to bulldoze your way to the very top right now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are a shining beacon that can attract adoring fans. People trust you to guide them past the shoals and into calm waters. Someone may hope you will help him or her achieve a lifelong ambition.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Partners may be buzzing with gossip or consumed by new enthusiasms. You will benefit by gathering facts and having private talks with friends. Amorous adventures hold glamorous appeal this evening.
IF FEBRUARY 19 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Recent changes in your lifestyle will set the tone for the year ahead. You may need to struggle to adjust to new rules, regulations or strictures during the next six to eight weeks. During May and June, you will be at the top of your game. That is a good time to apply for a new job, change careers or make an important romantic commitment. The celestial patterns make you more aware of the key things and people that contribute most to your happiness, so be sure to treasure them. Look for an important opportunity to improve your life and find material security in October when the universe may open doors previously unavailable to you.

Devo - The Complete Truth About De-evolution
When you think back on the history of the music video, it's clear that Devo was one of the first bands not just to embrace the concept but to use it to create something more than just advertisements for hit singles. Devo's videos, much like their music, were weird. They experimented with their videos the same way that they experimented with their albums and the added visuals really helped to 'complete' the Devo experience. Strange costumes, colorful energy domes, bizarre (even frightening masks) and subversive imagery all blended together over top of the drums and the keyboards and the vocals that made up the band's trademark sound and as such, in their prime, they managed to crank out some of the best (or at the very least, some of the most memorable) music videos of all time. And here they are, all more or less gathered together for your viewing enjoyment on the DVD release of Devo: The Complete Truth About De-Evolution, re-issued on DVD from the good people at MVD Visual after originally debuting on laserdisc and then on DVD from Rhino.
What impresses the most about the material compiled here is just how ridiculously creative these guys got when working out and executing on the concepts that they came up with for their videos. Nothing here is what most would consider normal, it's all completely off the wall and done with a genuinely bizarre sense of humor but at the same time the way in which sound and vision collide here is wonderfully eclectic.
Of course, the iconic and instantly recognizable stuff is here (Whip It and Jocko Homo being obvious examples, Secret Agent Man and Freedom Of Choice as well) but also worthwhile and helping to round out this collection nicely are some more esoteric and less obvious selections like The Theme From Doctor Detroit (this was missing from the previous DVD release) and the weird Rock Schenck Remix of Post-Post Modern Man. These tracks make this more than just a 'greatest video hits' type of release and instead turn this into a more thorough and methodically compiled collection.
So the bulk of the material on the disc is made up of "Featured Songs" that are laid out in chronological order as follows:
Devo Corporate Anthem / Secret Agent Man / Jocko Homo / (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction / Come Back Jonee / The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise / Worried Man / Whip It / Girl U Want / Freedom Of Choice / Through Being Cool / Love Without Anger / Beautiful World / Time Out For Fun / Peek-A-Boo / That's Good / Theme From Dr. Detroit / Disco Dancer / Post-Post Modern Man / Post-Post Modern Man (Rock Schenck Remix)
Just like the Rhino DVD release that's been out of print for a decade or so, this reissue is also missing the R U Experienced cover (which was included on the original Laserdisc release). That omission notwithstanding (and we're going to place the blame for it squarely at the feet of the Hendrix Estate, not Devo or MVD Visual), this is otherwise a whole lot of Devo in their prime and at their best.
The DVD
The footage that makes up this release is presented in its original 1.33.1 fullframe aspect ratio, as it should be. Quality is okay. Not mind blowing, but okay. The stability and detail in the image varies from one video to the next but generally speaking they're softer than you might want but perfectly watchable.
You've got the option of spinning a Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo mix or a Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound mix, both sound pretty good. The 2.0 is more authentic while the 5.1 track spreads out into the rear channels a bit here and there but remains fairly front heavy. The stereo sounded better here, just more suitable to the material but the surround remix is there for those who want it.
The extras on the disc start off with a commentary with Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald V. Casale (recorded separately and then edited together) for each of the promo videos included on the disc. This is a pretty interesting supplement as it goes into quite a bit of detail not just in regards to the themes and ideas that the band was exploring in these videos but additionally the entire de-evolution concept that was running through much of their work at the time. Mothersbaugh has more to say than Casale but both participants offer up some interesting information here and if you're a fan, this track should be considered mandatory listening.
Additionally, the disc also contains a wealth of live footage shot throughout the band's illustrious career which is made up of sections called Early Live Gigs. Just like it sounds, this is a collection of songs from three separate shows from the early part of the band's career. Also worth checking out are footage from The Gates Of Steel from the (Live 1980 DVD), Uncontrollable Urge (from the Live In The Land Of The Rising Sun DVD) and Mongoloid (Sundance 1996).
We also get a separate three minute interview with director Chuck Statler in which he talks about his involvement with the band, and the Mongoloid short film by Bruce Conner. The Kindred Spirit clip with Timothy Leary is here, as are the Laserdisc Production Credits and color bars features carried over from the first release way back when. There are also some massive galleries detailing Devo promo photos, their discography and more. The Miscellaneous De-evolution section is, as it implies, a collection of 'stuff' that didn't really fit in with the other collections. Menus and video selection are also included on the disc.
Final Thoughts:
Devo: The Complete Truth About De-Evolution gathers together an absolutely massive collection of the band's best material and, by way of the revealing commentary tracks, presents it with all the context you could hope for and a score of related supplemental material. The inclusion of some new bits and pieces here may or may not be enough to inspire a double dip for those who have the older Rhino disc, but otherwise, if you're a Devo fan, consider this essential.

We're still harboring resentment over "Cop Out," and we're not really big horror fans, but we have to admit that the trailer for Kevin Smith's "Red State" is kinda great.
Smith has said that this new film was inspired in part by the likes of hatemonger Fred Phelps, leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, who gained fame by leading his followers to picket military funerals, holding signs with slogans like "God Hates Fags," which also happens to be the name of their websites.
The film will be showing out of competition at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Their site has this synopsis for the film:
U.S. & World
"Red State begins by following three horny high school boys who come across an online ad from an older woman looking for a gang bang. Boys being boys, they hit the road to satisfy their libidinal urges. But what begins as a fantasy takes a dark turn as they come face-to-face with a terrifying "holy" force with a fatal agenda."
Needless to say, the trailer is super creepy.
In addition to great source material, the film features a fantastic cast, including Stephen Root, John Goodman, Melissa Leo, Michael Angarano and Kevin Pollack.

Public release date: 3-Jul-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ]
Contact: Sharon Boston firstname.lastname@example.com 410-328-8919 University of Maryland Medical Center
Baltimore, MD July 3, 2012. Researchers from the University of Maryland School of Maryland report promising results from using adult stem cells from bone marrow in mice to help create tissue cells of other organs, such as the heart, brain and pancreas – a scientific step they hope may lead to potential new ways to replace cells lost in diseases such as diabetes, Parkinson's or Alzheimer's. The research in collaboration with the University of Paris Descartes is published online in the June 29, 2012 edition of Comptes Rendus Biologies, a publication of the French Academy of Sciences.
"Finding stem cells capable of restoring function to different damaged organs would be the Holy Grail of tissue engineering," says lead author David Trisler, PhD, assistant professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
He adds, "This research takes us another step in that process by identifying the potential of these adult bone marrow cells, or a subset of them known as CD34+ bone marrow cells, to be 'multipotent,' meaning they could transform and function as the normal cells in several different organs."
University of Maryland researchers previously developed a special culturing system to collect a select sample of these adult stem cells in bone marrow, which normally makes red and white blood cells and immune cells. In this project, the team followed a widely recognized study model, used to prove the multipotency of embryonic stem cells, to prove that these bone marrow stem cells could make more than just blood cells. The investigators also found that the CD34+ cells had a limited lifespan and did not produce teratomas, tumors that sometimes form with the use of embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells cultivated from other methods that require some genetic manipulation.
"When taken at an early stage, we found that the CD34+ cells exhibited similar multipotent capabilities as embryonic stem cells, which have been shown to be the most flexible and versatile. Because these CD34+ cells already exist in normal bone marrow, they offer a vast source for potential cell replacement therapy, particularly because they come from a person's own body, eliminating the need to suppress the immune system, which is sometimes required when using adults stem cells derived from other sources," explains Paul Fishman, MD, PhD, professor of neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
The researchers say that proving the potential of these adult bone marrow stem cells opens new possibilities for scientific exploration, but that more research will be needed to see how this science can be translated to humans.
"The results of this international collaboration show the important role that University of Maryland School of Medicine researchers play in advancing scientific understanding, investigating new avenues for the development of potentially life-changing treatments," says E. Albert Reece, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., vice president for medical affairs at the University of Maryland and the John Z. and Akiko K. Bowers Distinguished Professor and dean of the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
This project builds on three decades of collaboration between the American and French researchers, particularly Dr. Bernard Pessac of the University of Paris Descartes and Dr. Trisler at the University of Maryland. Researchers from the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence at the Baltimore Veterans Administration Medical Center also contributed to the study.

Welcome to another edition of our enthralling Android app fiesta, where we pick out a few Android apps we think are worth your data. This week, we're setting off for adventures far and wide with Google's Field Trip, an app that helps you check out worthy hangouts around town and further afield. We're also constantly checking up on pictures of our friends' cats across various social networks with an app called Pixable, and we're getting some serious mobile gaming done with Machinarium, which is a part of this week's Humble Bundle.
So, take this moment to grab a drink, relax, pull up a chair, and grab your Android phone for this edition of Android app picks.
Field Trip, Free
Going somewhere this weekend? Well, don't forget to bring this app along with you. Field Trip helps users explore landmarks, hidden treasures, and points of interest, too. It's a neat way to check out the local history around your area or discover a new vista you've never gazed upon before. You can also set up the app to take you on a "field trip" while you drive, and it will turn into your little tour guide and dictate facts about the area you're driving through. The app is still being developed by NianticLabs at Google, so expect it to have a few quirks.
Pixable, Free
I went on a six-month Facebook hiatus and it was a very liberating experience. Then a few of my friends started having children, though, and I wanted to be able to keep up with the antics of their spawn across a variety of social networks. Pixable works wonders for this reason alone: it allows you to peruse only the photos posted to selected social networks, without having to sift through the status updates and links to outdated Internet memes.
Pixable categorizes photos by social network, most popular photos, and most recent photos. You can also link it to Instagram, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Twitter, and keep track of favorites from within the app. Be forewarned, however, that the app puts forth frequent push notifications, and sends out a daily e-mail newsletter with the top photos of the day.
Machinarium, $4.99
(Or, buy it in this week's Humble Bundle)
There's a reason Machinarium won Best Indie Game of the year from so many game outlets. Not only is it a stunning work of art, but this point-and-click game will surely keep you stimulated with its multitude of brain-teasers and mini-games. As an added bonus, Machinarium is a part of this week's Humble Bundle. If you feel like helping out a few charities and developers, donate at least $6.07 or more to get this game, as well as Splice, Eufloria, Waking Mars, and Sword & Sworcery for your Android device.

I have implemented an algorithm using OpenCL and have several versions: CPU-only, multi GPU, and multi GPU + CPU. I am working on Mac OS X 10.6.1 using dual NV GT120's and dual Intel Xeon Quad Core CPUs. I am encountering some performance behavior I do not understand and am hoping someone can clarify. My main question is around how the OpenCL implementation chooses to allocate work to the CPU.
I have done some profiling of the CPU path and multi GPU path independently on this machine and have established a rough ratio of the performance of each path and use this to up-front determine how much work to send on each path.
The basic usage is:
Generate workload for each GPU and the CPU (I have one GPU context with two devices and one CPU context with one device)
Create a thread for each workload (three total) and in each thread:
- Copy the data to the device using OpenCL
- Invoke the kernel multiple times in a loop (each execution is in a loop and requires a Host read back on each iteration)
Now, what puzzles me is this: if I just run the application to use just a single thread and one OpenCL context on the CPU, I get the best performance. Watching in Mac System Monitor, I see the application use approximately 18 threads and consume 1200%+ of the CPU. However, when I run my three threaded version where each thread is sending work to a device (thread 1 - CPU, thread 2 - GPU 0, thread 3 - GPU 1) I see the application create approximately 24 threads and only use about 300% of the CPU initially. As soon as the GPU threads retire because they have finished their work, the thread running on the CPU immediately starts consuming 1200%+ again. So in other words, by having the GPU threads, I am massively slowing down the thread that runs on the CPU, and hence overall getting worse performance than just running on the CPU context. I have tried setting thread priorities and that did not seem to have an impact.
Could someone help me understand this behavior?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Engineers have long taken cues from nature where, over millions of years, the highest performing designs have risen to the top. Directly mimicking nature's structures with artificial materials, an approach called biomimetics, has given us things like gecko-inspired adhesives. Structural materials, composites in particular, have brilliant examples in nature where systems of intrinsically weak materials vastly outperform the sum of their parts thanks to how they are structured on several length scales. Nacre (abalone shell) has long been the textbook example of these composite structures, and scientists have come close to mimicking all the key aspects of the material.
Making a structural material strong is easy, but it often comes at the cost of damage tolerance and durability—carefully balancing these properties for specific applicatiosn is crucial. Nacre takes the best of both worlds, deriving its strength from an unlikely source: CaCO3, or chalk. By ordering the CaCO3 as micrometer platelettes with a small amount of a protein binder between layers, the hard and brittle CaCO3 still imparts its strength, while the hierarchical structure gives it damage tolerance. This is the same basic approach that is taken in making man-made composites, like carbon fiber reinforced plastics, although nacre is a much more efficient and effective realization of the concept.
Researchers chose Al2O3—the common ceramic alumina—and polymethymethacrylate (PMMA) in their efforts to recreate the key structures of nacre. Using a technique called freeze casting, the alumina particles are dispersed in water and a carefully controlled, directional freezing process, a layered platelette structure composed of alumina gets left behind. Removing the water, compressing the alumina, and heating it to high temperatures that are just below its melting point (called sintering) consolidates the alumina, which is then infiltrated by the PMMA to create a fully dense material.
The results were impressive—key damage tolerance properties were an order of magnitude higher than you'd expect from simply summing the contribution of the alumina and the PMMA. The structure wasn't a dead-on replica of nacre, however, as the alumina particles were larger and the volume percentage of PMMA was higher as well, suggesting that there is still room for improvement in the process. Analysis of the fracture mechanics showed mechanics similar to nacre's, where toughening actually occurs as the crack grows. Smaller cracks ahead of the main crack front, deformation of the binder layer, and sliding of the alumina layers all consume energy, which slows the expansion of a crack.
Advanced structural materials are an often unrecognized green technology front, as weight savings from materials can be turned into higher efficiency or higher performance. Fabrication of the material presented in this research could potentially be done at a scale large enough to make something that matters out of materials that are easy to obtain. There is no doubt that an alumina/PMMA hierarchical structure is just the tip of the iceberg as far as biomimetic structural materials go.

Strasburg's gem wasted; Brewers top Nationals 4-0
Peralta leaves in sixth with hamstring strain as Brewers end losing streak
Stephen Strasburg had hitters flailing at curveballs for seven scoreless innings Tuesday night, getting all eight of his strikeouts with the same pitch in a magnificent outing that was wasted when the Milwaukee Brewers scored off the Washington Nationals bullpen for a 4-0 victory.
Strasburg put on a gem of performance that dropped his ERA to 2.24 and nearly overshadowed the game's actual outcome. Once again, the Nationals' bats abandoned him, and Juan Francisco's two-run double in the eighth started a scoring spree off Drew Storen (2-2) as the Brewers snapped a six-game losing streak.
Martin Maldonado knocked in Francisco with a warning track fly ball that left fielder Bryce Harper dropped - it was nevertheless ruled a double - and scored on Jeff Bianchi's groundball single that got through the infield only because Maldonado was trying to steal third with an absurd jump off Storen.
The earned runs were the first allowed by Storen in 10 appearances, and they made Jim Henderson (3-2) the winning pitcher. Brewers starter Wily Peralta had his own shutout in the making until he left during the sixth inning with a strained left hamstring. Henderson was one of four relievers who finished the eight-hitter.
The Nationals had scored 23 runs in their previous two games, but they've now been shut out nine times this season. To get an idea of the their lack of support for Strasburg, here is the running tally of earned runs he's allowed in his last nine starts: 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 0. His record during that stretch? Just 3-2.
The curve was his go-to pitch Tuesday against a meager Brewers starting nine that has only 31 home runs combined. Amaris Ramirez's helmet flew off while chasing a low-and-outside strike three in the second inning, and his juggling right-handed catch of his headgear was the only thing impressive about his at-bat.
Maldonado couldn't quite check his swing at a similar pitch to end the inning. In the third, Strasburg froze Peralta with a bender that hardly seemed fair to throw to an opposing pitcher. Rickie Weeks struck out going after a low-and-away curve in the fourth, and Peralta did the same in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out in the sixth, Strasburg got a called third strike on Francisco on a curveball that was maybe a bit outside, then got Sean Halton on the now-familiar low-and-away curve, with Halton unable to check the swing.
Strasburg allowed three hits. Two never left the infield, and one appeared to result from a bad call at first on a grounder to the hole by Norichika Aoki. Strasburg was pulled for a pinch hitter in the seventh, having thrown 105 pitches.
He was hardly facing the most imposing lineup in the majors. The Brewers started without shortstop Jean Segura and center fielder Carlos Gomez, who have 196 hits combined. Both have nagging injuries that need some rest, a thumb for Segura and a shoulder for Gomez. Also, team RBI leader Jonathan Lucroy didn't start because Maldonado usually catches Peralta.
NOTES: Brewers OF Ryan Braun, on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right thumb, was scheduled to take some swings in the batting cage. Manager Ron Roenicke said he's not expecting Braun to return until after the All-Star break. ... The Nationals sent outright RHP Cole Kimball to Triple-A Syracuse. ... The Nationals agreed to terms with seven international free agents: RHP Edwin Adames, C Jose Cabello, RHP Angel Guillen, LHP Jose Jimenez, OF Victor Robles, OF Dany Rojas and C Edwin Trejos.

Great Small SUV
I recently decided that it was time to down size from my very large GMC Yukon XL to something that was better on the gas but did not want to completely lose the things I like about SUVs, the room to haul stuff. That being the goal I started looking at mid-size on down SUVs and found that gas mileage was really not that much better as most of them have V6 engines. So I decided to look at the small SUVs; Rav4 Escape, CR-V, Mazda CX-5, Hyundai Tucson, etc. After driving all of them I decided on the Rav4 based on MPG, ride, and road noise. Love the car!!!!!

I've been awaiting the eight season of Entourage like Eminem's been awaiting a proper dueling-sesh with Vince (no spoilers, honest!), but if you want to see the special Hollywood Sunset: A Farewell Tribute to Entourage before it hits DVD and HBO, the only way to get it is through iTunes (for now.)
This is notable because we're going to be seeing a lot more of these Apple scoops in the future, as they continue to wrest power from the actual studios, and also puts yet another nail in the coffin of optical formats. Now, I don't anticipate the death of DVDs and Blu-rays anytime soon—in fact, I hope it never happens—but the decline of products with optical drives has been noted, and must be scaring the movie studios silly.

It's not every day that the CEO of Charles Schwab & Co. (SCHW) speaks to the advisor press, though in previous interviews Walt Bettinger has said that he regularly does talk to advisors who custody with Schwab or are considering doing so.
In a telephone interview on June 20, during Schwab's invitation-only Explore event for its RIAs in Tucson, Ariz., Bettinger (at left in photo) and Bernie Clark (right), who runs Schwab Advisor Services (SAS), spoke of the opportunities for RIAs and some initiatives that SAS was rolling out. However, Bettinger also spoke of some other topics dear to his heart, and reiterated that "advisors are core to our overall corporate strategy; they're not a sideline business." Advisors in Schwab Advisor Services, he said, "are our primary strategy in the high-net-worth" space.
When asked about Schwab's relationship with RIAs who custody with SAS, Bettinger characterized it as "so much deeper, so much richer" than mere custody, despite that role's importance, and said advisors were looking for Schwab to help them in many areas.
"Advisors recognize the importance of the coming intergenerational wealth transfer," he said, saying they "need to align with the children of their existing clients."
Helping advisors take a broader view of who their clients are and could be—including a view that includes an ethnicity, race or gender different than the advisors'—"is good for investors, for advisors, and for Schwab," Bettinger said. Helping them find those new clients is a "natural extension" of what Schwab provides to advisors.
"We couldn't have [that kind of deeper relationship with advisors]," Bettinger said, "if we were competing with them."
As another example of Schwab's commitment to independent RIAs, he mentioned what he has previously called a "misstep" when Schwab acquired U.S. Trust in 2000 and its decision to sell U.S. Trust in 2007.
What about the aging of the advisor workforce, and the still relatively paltry number of female advisors? Bettinger said he had gone through the attendee list for Explore, and reported that about 20% of the advisors were women. "The people here," he said, referring to Explore attendees, "got started 15, 20, 30 years ago" in building their now successful advisory firms.
He pointed to the high proportion of young women among the interns that Schwab is training for eventual placement in advisory firms as a cause for hope, and suggested that "20 years from now" the ratio of female to male advisors "will be much more balanced."
As for Schwab's corporate HR focus, Bettinger said "we want our employee base to reflect the clients we serve."
What about restoring clients' trust in the financial system and financial institutions like Charles Schwab? "Trust is a big-picture issue," he replied, saying it was understandable that distrust will linger due, for example, to the perception that high-frequency traders have an inordinate amount of control over the markets. "The average consumer doesn't understand the difference between the fiduciary standard and the suitability standard," he said, so the "industry has to help consumers understand" that difference. Bettinger argues that while it's not necessary to "force fiduciary on everyone," he also "believes that what wins is what is in the best interests of the consumer; we've done that for 40 years."
Is he worried about investors who seem to always be moving into sectors at the wrong time, for example moving from equities into bonds just as the stock market started soaring?
"There are self-directed, highly sophisticated investors who do a good job" investing on their own, he said, but also pointed out that "two-thirds of people are more confident with their investing decisions" when they get some advice from others. "We see that on the retail side," Bettinger said, "where we do it in a fiduciary way."
However, he is worried about "self-directed investors without that sophisticated knowledge," which is part of why Schwab retail offers a range of educational tools and capabilities, along with the ability to "refer to an advisor" when appropriate.
On the same track, Bettinger also said he was worried about investors' use of target-date funds for retirement purposes. "I cringe at the growth rate of target-date funds," he said, because so many investors simply allocate their retirement dollars to those funds.
Target date funds take into account "only one factor—your age" rather than the multiple factors necessary to invest for a long-term goal like retirement.
"I worry," he said again, that for too many self-directed investors, "near-term economics takes precedence over long-term" planning.
Returning to Schwab's corporate strategies, Bettinger spoke about the company's new advertising campaign, "Own Your Tomorrow," which launched in June in TV, print, online and mobile and replaces the longrunning "Talk to Chuck" campaign. Bettinger said the goal of the new campaign was to "re-establish Schwab as a challenger brand" and that it will be "more inclusive of all the company's" offerings, including its advisor channel.
Additional ads in the campaign will roll out over the coming months, he promised, all of which are designed to "resonate with driven investors," who he defined as people who are "involved with their communities and their money."

USGS to make separate risk map for man-made quakes
Federal officials are wrestling with how to account for the hazard created by man-made earthquakes, many of which are triggered by oil and gas activities.
In the past, the U.S. Geological Survey has generally excluded shaking related to industrial activity from its earthquake hazard maps. The maps project the likelihood of large, natural earthquakes and are used to develop building codes, plan roads and bridges, and set insurance rates.
But amid an increase in the number and severity of man-made quakes in oil and gas regions, scientists and engineers at the agency are developing a separate map that will include what geologists call "induced seismicity."
The traditional hazard maps, predicting the risk of natural quakes, are expected to be issued early next year. The map evaluating the risks of man-made quakes will be issued later in the year because the agency is still figuring out how it should be assembled.
"It's been the subject of rather intense discussion," said Bill Leith, senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards at USGS headquarters in Reston, Va.
The traditional map of natural earthquakes is intended to guide decisions by architects, builders and others for as long as 50 years. The danger from man-made quakes might be much shorter than that, particularly if the activity causing it stops.
Still, man-made earthquakes are a hazard. Two people were injured and 14 homes were destroyed in a November 2011 quake outside Oklahoma City that USGS researchers have linked to deep underground injection of oil and gas wastewater (EnergyWire, March 27).
The amount of such deep injection has grown sharply with the nation's shale drilling boom, which has been driven by a hydraulic fracturing process that uses far more water than conventional drilling and creates far more wastewater. Most of that wastewater is eventually injected underground.
Geologists have known for decades that injection of any kind of industrial fluid deep underground can cause earthquakes. Injection of toxic fluid at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal was blamed for earthquakes near Denver in the 1960s.
Amid the boom in drilling, fracking and injecting, USGS scientists have identified a "remarkable" spate of earthquakes in the middle of the country. The agency says the rash of quakes is probably linked to human activity.
At the center of that trend is Oklahoma, which has one of the densest inventories of drilling wastewater disposal wells in the country. Oklahoma has ranked No. 2 among the lower 48 states for earthquakes both this year and last, after California. Since the beginning of 2009, 10 percent of the earthquakes in the country have been in Oklahoma (EnergyWire, Dec. 2).
In October, USGS declared that central Oklahoma is in the midst of a seismic "swarm." That prompted the state's insurance commissioner to urge people in the state to buy earthquake insurance.
Texas, which has probably the largest number of injection wells, had 18 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or greater from 2000 to 2008. This year alone, it has had 16.
USGS and other researchers have also identified "induced" or "triggered" quakes in Arkansas, Colorado and Ohio.
Moving beyond 'gray area'
The man-made quakes have become more severe and more common since USGS issued its last set of earthquake hazard maps about six years ago.
Previously, induced seismicity fell into a "gray area," said Mark Petersen, national regional coordinator of the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program. They were often excluded, but sometimes they were left in if they were thought to be a risk.
That gray area needed clearing up as the risk from man-made quakes grew.
"We don't want to put a map out that says 'no risk' or 'low risk' in Oklahoma," Petersen said.
Some USGS officials call the addition to the maps a new "product." Petersen calls it an "extra layer" of what's really a model rather than a map.
When the last set of earthquake maps came out in 2008, eight areas were excluded because shaking in the regions was traced to industrial activities. In next year's model, that number is expected to be about 20.
The 2011 Oklahoma quake, magnitude 5.7, is likely to be left out of the traditional evaluation of natural quake risks, along with another damaging magnitude-5.3 quake a few months earlier in Colorado. Other seismic events that would be evaluated in the new model include the Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm in central Arkansas in 2010, a series of earthquakes near Dallas-Fort Worth in 2009 and shaking since 2006 near the West Texas city of Snyder that has been linked to carbon-dioxide injection.
As they evaluate the risk to the public, scientists and others might look at whether the activity causing the earthquakes is likely to end quickly or whether the shaking is likely to become the "new normal," said Justin Rubinstein, a research geophysicist at USGS who is working on how to use the data from man-made earthquakes.
The changes could anger oil and gas companies who get blamed for the damage from the quakes, while proving a relief to those in construction and real estate that their area won't be deemed a natural earthquake zone.
Complicating matters, though, Oklahoma officials disagree with USGS on the 2011 quakes. The state geologist says there's not enough evidence to say that either was caused by injection of oil and gas waste.
Rubinstein said the separate analysis is intended to be somewhat "agnostic" on whether a quake was caused by a specific industrial activity. Instead, it is intended to include induced quakes, "potentially induced" quakes and sudden spikes that can't be accounted for in traditional models.
Karen Berry, interim state geologist in Colorado, said she supports treating the 2011 quake in Colorado differently than clearly natural earthquakes.
"Since we don't really know if the 2011 event was natural or triggered, it would be equally premature to update the seismic hazard maps solely based on this event," Berry said.

Democratic Constitutional Rally
Democratic Constitutional Rally, also called Democratic Constitutional Assembly, formerly (1964–88) Destourian Socialist Party and (1934–64) Neo-Destour, French Rassemblement Constitutionnel Démocratique, Parti Socialiste Destourien, and Néo-Destour, Tunisian political party that led the movement for independence from France (1956) and ruled Tunisia until 2011.
The Neo-Destour was formed in 1934 by discontented young members of the more conservative Destour. After a bitter struggle with the parent organization, it became the predominant party under the leadership of Habib Bourguiba in 1937. It was harassed by French authorities throughout the 1940s and began an armed rebellion in 1953 that led to Tunisian independence in 1956.
A Neo-Destour government was then formed. In 1958 Bourguiba was appointed the first premier of Tunisia, and in 1959 he was overwhelmingly voted president. Internally, however, the Neo-Destour had begun to split in the early 1950s, one group supporting Bourguiba, the other aligning itself with Salah Ben Yusuf, who had led the party when Bourguiba was imprisoned by the French. Ben Yusuf was expelled from the party in 1955, established himself in Cairo, and initiated a six-year guerrilla campaign against the Neo-Destour, the French, and Bourguiba. He was found murdered on Aug. 14, 1961, and his followers soon disappeared.
The party meanwhile consolidated its hold on all levels of Tunisian society and constituted itself (1963) as the sole political party. Independence having been achieved, the party needed to develop an ideology beyond the struggle against colonialism. In 1964 it officially adopted a collectivist form of socialism and renamed itself the Destourian Socialist Party (Parti Socialiste Destourien; PSD). However, the internal politics of the party, the economic failures of the socialist experiment, and resistance from national organizations affiliated to the party resulted in the abandonment of what had always been a rather muted ideological position. The chief advocate of socialism, Ahmed Ben Salah, was expelled from the party and established his own party in exile called the Popular Unity Movement (Mouvement de l'Unité Populaire).
The PSD subsequently became divided between the entrenched old guard, who wished to preserve party hegemony, and an emerging group of liberals, who wished to see more democracy both inside the party and in the political arena as a whole. In 1975 a group of liberals broke ranks and later organized their own then-illegal party, the Democratic Socialist Movement (Mouvement des Démocrates Socialistes), under Ahmad Mestiri. With the question of succession to Bourguiba unresolved and with party elites unwilling to relinquish any of their control over patronage or power, the PSD subsequently atrophied.
In 1987 Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali executed a constitutional coup by invoking an article that allowed for the replacement of the president on grounds of death, illness, or incapacitation. Ben Ali subsequently assumed leadership of the party and set about reviving and reforming it through a number of measures. The party's political bureau was reduced in size, and many of the old-style Bourguibists were removed and replaced. A massive recruitment drive designed to attract younger participants drew large numbers of new party members. Meanwhile, reforms in the relationship between state and party subordinated the party to government and reduced the influence of the party hierarchy on the government itself. The role of the party was further curtailed by the introduction of a limited form of multiparty political competition, although the particular reforms managed to retain overall control by the party over the National Assembly and municipal councils.
In 1988 the party was renamed the Democratic Constitutional Rally (Rassemblement Constitutionnel Démocratique; RCD), marking a break with the Neo-Destour Bourguibist past and movement toward a new commitment to democracy. Under Ben Ali the party became firmly tied to an economic reform program that subsequently transformed both the structure of the economy and its performance. Despite the ideal of commitment to a more liberal political arena, however, the RCD continued to be closely linked to the regime and was consequently rewarded with a dominant position in the majority of national matters.
In 2011 the RCD suddenly lost its position of dominance in Tunisia when a wave of popular protests forced Ben Ali from power. In the aftermath of Ben Ali's departure, a number of RCD politicians took positions in the interim government, angering protesters who sought a clean break with the Ben Ali regime. Under pressure, a number of the senior officials, including the interim prime minister, Mohammed Ghannouchi, resigned from the RCD. However, protesters continued to demand that the RCD be banned in Tunisia. After a violent protest in the city of Kef in early February, Farhat Rajhi, the minister of the interior, officially suspended the party. On March 9 a Tunisian court dissolved the RCD, liquidating the party's assets and barring it from entering candidates in future elections.

Chaim Even-Zohar, president of the Tel Aviv-based diamond consulting service Tacy Limited, said that Zimbabwe has the potential to produce 8% to 10% of global gem production but was not benefiting fully as potential buyers were worried about trading with Zimbabwe.
"Although you are totally KPCS-compliant, major companies are scared, insurance companies are afraid of OFAC (the US Office of Foreign Assets Control) and you sell your goods at 25% less in value," said Even-Zohar referring to the international Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.
Even-Zohar was addressing a conference organised by the government to try to spruce up the country's tainted diamond industry.
"We want you to unlock the diamond wealth because we all need it. You are not capturing the full value of your goods."
Zimbabwe's diamond sector has been blemished by allegations of graft, and labour and human rights violations which occured when Harare deployed security forces to drive away illegal miners from the eastern Marange diamond fields.
Global watchdog Kimberley Process then suspended exports from there but lifted the ban after government said it had pulled the security forces out of the area.
Natural resource extraction watchdogs accuse President Robert Mugabe's party of funneling profits to senior military and political leaders but on Monday defence minister Emmerson Mnangagwa denied the charges in an interview with the state-owned Herald daily. He dared those making the accusations to present the proof.
Finance Minister Tendai Biti, a member of the anti-Mugabe Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party, complained in July that of the $600-million diamond revenue expected this year, only $46-million had materialised.
The two-day conference seeks to "manage perception of the Zimbabwean diamond industry and lure more investors to the diamond industry," according to the mines ministry.
Among notable speakers are Kimberley Process chair, Gillian Milovanovic, an American diplomat, former South African President Thabo Mbeki and representatives from African Diamond Producers. – Sapa-AFP

UW will host state tournaments through spring 2020
7-year agreement covers numerous high school sports
MADISON, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin has reached a deal with the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association to host state high school athletic competition for seven years.
The WIAA will host state competition for high school boys basketball, football, golf, wrestling, and softball at UW facilities in Madison through the spring of 2020.
State swimming, diving, and tennis tournaments will continue to be held on the UW campus but are not part of the new agreement.
A decision was made earlier this year to move the girls basketball tournament to the Green Bay area through 2014. The move was made because of concerns Kohl Center scheduling conflicts.
The WIAA also said the move could help highlight the girls tournament, making it more of an exclusive event that won't have to compete with many other events in Madison that weekend, such as a hockey tournament.
The boys tournament has been held in Madison for 92 years. The girls tournament has been in Madison since it began in 1976.
The Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates the boys basketball tournament brings in $6 million of activity to the city at restaurants, hotels and shops, especially in the State Street and downtown area.
